Not trying to pour salt on a wound here, just looking for clarification. It appears to be a large crack in the middle of it, but is that a crack below the "o" in "works" or just a scratch?

Is there going to be a negative feedback on the seller?
More than likely. This hull wasnt even close to what it was advertised as.

Did you have it shipped? How did you not notice that?! Looks like it was dropped off a stand or something.
That's the poopty part about the deal and partly my own fault. I drove 10 hrs to pick this mess up, thought i was dealing with a reputable seller, got bull pooping with seller and his parents, saw the top deck in as advertised condition, and didnt even bother looking until i got it home and flipped it over.
And i did. Spent many dollars and hours doing it. Just relax, this thread is just getting started.
Get with the program dood.
@Nate D is the man. The boat is together, just pump tuning left. To continue the thread though, i had to grind out all the bad that was cracked. It was rough without a respirator.

WTF Dude. Silicosis. $30 at home depot for a respirator. I worry about washing my clothes with the other clothes. Don't ever breathe that dust. Minimum drywall mask for hand sanding and respirator with power tools. That's a minimum, like way minimum. I wear a mask to sweep the floor.

Yeah guys do yourself a favour and wear some protection grinding carbon, its really bad for your health to breathe carbon dust
It sounds to me like there is no one to blame but yourself. You drove 10 hours to pick up a hull but didn't take 10 minutes to look it over before you bought it? Now you're crying because you found a small crack and want to blame the seller. poop happens and carbon cracks. Fix it and move on. It's not like he shipped it to you and it arrived damaged you went and picked it up and saw it first hand before you made the deal
